Potty Training

We have been trying to get Samantha potty trained for months now. I think she is the only one in her preschool class that isn't. Well, Monday morning she got up and announced that she was not going to wear diapers anymore. She got her clothes and her underwear. I think I got a little to excited! I thought this would be a great week to try again anyway because she didn't have school. We were off to a good start, I hoped! By today, she just didn't want to do it at all. She fought me everytime I told her to go to the toilet. She has been wearing her underwear to bed, so in the morning I take her right to the toilet, put her on it and tell her it is time to go. Believe it or not, she refuses! She throws a fit and tells me she hates going pee on the potty! To which I say, how does she know, she has never done it! Finally, this afternoon, we had a small success. She has 2 small poopies-then preceded to mess her pants! And one small pee job..which a few minutes later more ended up on the floor! We are thankful for the small successes. Since she has decided not to wear diapers, we will take advantage of it.


This is one of my favorite pictures of Jonathan. Doesn't he look so sweet and innocent?!
